As always, just fun to watch:

(about 90 minutes. on the Leopard part, I like the Spaces, the Core Animation, iChat theatre, the improved Mail as well maybe, and especially, the "drag and make" Widgets. Not much on the Time Machine, 'cause lots of software packages can play the some trick, and just like the notorious "system restore" feature in Windows, if not turned off, it should occupy large amount of dedicated hard drive space just for backups - "the important yet always the secondary task in the digital world", and may seriously invade one's privacy should the physical machine get lost or stolen due to its easy usability. It only works well when it takes good advantage of the development of media storage technology and gets carefully monitored.)
